Red Beans and Rice
"If the sausage is low fat this is very healthy. I use a pressure cooker to speed the process, but it can also be made in a dutch oven (water must be adjusted)."

This is the first time making red beans in my pressure cooker and they came out very well. I did add more water just to be sure there would be enough and I added an extra beef bouillon cube and some thyme. I didn't add salt as I felt the sausage provided enough. Made for Spring PAC, May, 2014.
